5.00We booked the premium option that includes the horse ride. We had such a wonderful experience with Alexandra as our guide and Diego as our driver. From pickup until the end is nothing but perfection. El Ombu ranch was beautiful and we had the best meal during our time in Argentina. Thanks again for the day!
Great time.

5.00This was a great experience on a beautiful ranch outside of Buenos Aires. The van ride took about 90 min, but Amie was full of great information and is an excellent guide. She made the ride go quickly. It was obvious that the ranch is an active working ranch, with well-cared for horses and some lovely spoiled dogs. The meal was abundant and delicious. The gauchos are talented and the show was a display of how well they are in touch with their horses.
Cultural experience you must do
